Although I'm currently losing weight, I will be in the same situation as you when I want to maintain. I find it a low number too, I thought it would be more like 1800. Perhaps play around with amount a bit - if you find you are still losing weight at 1650, up it by 100 and so on. Of course eating to maintain is still…

Actually I get more sleep when I do evening shifts - because I can sleep in the next day! But yes I think staying up late and doing more in the evening/ night must confuse my body and is quite likely one of the reasons I feel more hungry. What's a fitbit?

Never heard of flavour infused vinegars, will check them out. I know apple cider vinegar and honey is supposed to be good for you.

Hi - yeah it is useful to see how other people plan their meals when working shifts - got some more ideas of how to curb the hunger pangs. Thank you.

Yeah I do shift my sleep pattern a bit dependent on shifts. It's difficult not to because my day shifts start at 7am, so when I'm doing evening shifts I'll go to bed later and sleep in for a bit longer, as I don't want to get up at 6am when I don't have to! Will defo make sure I have more low cal snacks to pick on - thanks…

I'm 5'4 and 138, my goal weight is 130. Weight loss is always slower when you're very near your goal anyway, but that's a good thing because you're less likely to put it all back on. Also although I do want to lose a bit of excess fat, my main focus is on strength and toning and general fitness. I really recommend strength…

Everything in moderation! Also changing what sort of carbs you eat helps, so wholegrain pasta and brown rice instead of normal. With potatoes boil them as opposed to roast or fry etc. Little changes make a real difference.
